Certainly a very minor question, in view of all the Covid-19 concerns. Does anyone have up-to-date info on effects of induction cooking and your pacemaker. Latest info on site is 4 years old.

Induction cooktops

Yes, they're dangerous IFF:

1) Your leads are unipolar (not likely anymore)

2) You lay down on the cooktop (well, you decide)

3) There is an off-center pot on the cooktop (Ok, could happen)

4) You are pacemaker dependent (are you?)

What I was told two years ago... and I'm pace-maker dependent.

A modern induction hob is no problem as long as you don't actually lie down on it while it's on. And if you do that, you need your head examining.

You know you're wired when...

A thirty-day guarantee is not good enough.

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
